I was told that as an Officer in the National Guard you CANNOT go part-time guard.

March 2nd, 2012, 12:29 AM

He said that he was going into the guard and enroll with SMP and he was going AGR. At first I said why wouldn't you just go part-time as an Officer in the Guard? then he replied "No if you are an Officer you have to go Active Guard reserve. You are an Officer, I wish there was a part-time officer position but there isnt."

I was under the impression that you can still be a part-time officer in the Guard since that is what the Guard is... a part-time job. and you can apply for a Active Guard position if you wanted...

There are only a couple handfuls of AGR slots for officers in the state. The fact is, to get an officer AGR slot, you need to know someone who knows someone, who knew you when you were enlisted 10 years ago. Well, not quite that bad, but almost.

He was doing some captains program. Im just doing Lt. so thats why there was confusion. Thank you for your input!

There was confusion because you are clueless...which has been shown more then once about your rambling posts that you put in here. Him doing "captain" and you just doing "LT" makes no sense in many more ways then just one.

He was going AGR as a CPT and I'm not. He said that only Lt's can commission part-time and passed that you have to go AGR. AGR does not apply to me which is why I said there was confusion in the less than 3 minute conversation we had. I only plan to be an Lt. as of right now. So yeah since i have not looked into different areas I can go in the Guard or the Army then im pretty clueless. Only cause those are things i dont need to take into consideration at the moment.

Im SMP just going Lt. Part time. Hes in a completely different route than i am. Why should i be aware of certain aspects that are irrelevant to my life? It was a clear miscommunication.

And i forgot asking for clarification, make me clueless. Obviously if you take a test and you get an answer right and you go back to the teach after class and you clarify that your answer was correct does not make you clueless. Come on now guys, no need for insulting posts. This is to help individuals not bash them. Sorry the wife is being a pain in the butt this morning but you don't need to take your sarcasm into a forum.

The part I put in quotes are incorrect or shows an ignorance to your goals.

Depending on the position and slot; any officer can apply for an AGR slot.

Your statement about "going LT part time" shows that you do not know the TIG requirements for each rank. Why aspire to only be a Lieutenant when you can easily make Captain during your first term obligation with the National Guard?

You truly need to call and/or sit down with an OSM and get your questions clarified because you are jumping all over the board here with your inquiries.

At this rate, just worry about getting your commission. You still have to worry about basic training and learning what the Army and the guard is. Right now you're posting stuff that hardly make sense and you look like a tool. Paralegal is right.

To SGT Juggernaut... I seriously read and re-read that garble post maybe three times until I looked at who the author was....I thought it was the OP...sitting here thinking "WTF" over and over again.
